A clip of a gorilla sculpture in a town in France is circulating online with the false claim that it shows an animal let loose from a zoo during riots which took place in France in late June and early July.
The shakily filmed video captured in low light shows what appears to be a gorilla perched atop a building.
According to the blog, the sculpture is in the Valensolles district, Valence, France.
Reuters traced the sculpture to a building in Valence, where the corner of the building similarly matches street view(bit.ly/44tKQaR).
The clip shows a sculpture of a gorilla in Valence, France, and not an animal let loose during riots in France.
